"To everyone that supported me and showed kindness to my family and I during my time in AZ, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
"I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77 year drought for this organization, I am sorry I failed us. I wish this community and my brothers nothing but the best.
"I am no stranger to adversity, I am prepared for whatever's next. I trust in God and my work ethic. I truly believe my best ball is in front of me and I look forward to proving it.
"Godspeed."
By releasing Murray before March 15, the Cardinals will save $19.5 million. He's still owed $36.8 million.

Murray played in just five games in 2025 before a foot injury ended his season. The 28-year-old's 962 yards and six touchdowns were career-lows.
The No. 1 pick by Arizona in 2019, Murray's career has been riddled by injuries and appeared in just one playoff game in seven seasons.
Jacoby Brissett filled in nicely for Murray with 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns, but it's unclear if the Cardinals will stick with him as their starting quarterback.
The Cardinals were reported to have interest in Jimmy Garoppolo , who's close with new coach Mike LaFleur.
